Description: | Sherd of Roman Samian ware pottery. The sherd weighs 10.5g and measures 48mm in width, 31mm in length and 7mm in thickness. The decoration is divided with borders and the visible motif depicts a medallion with a bird inside looking back over its shoulder. A similar motif can be seen on some of the sherds recovered at Castleford and featured in ??Roman Castleford, Excavations 1974-85, Vol.III ?? The Pottery?? (P.14, Fig.11;No.52). The fragment is curved in section and is probably a Dragendorff Form 29 or 37 (Southern Gaulish), dating from the 1st-3rd century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Marshall, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
